Set up an RSS based on this article:

http://expressionengine.com/wiki/RSS_Comments/

I cannot seem to get comments to show in the feed. Can’t seem to find anyone with the same issue.

Question:
1. Does the site have to be “ON”
NOTE* Hosted with Engine Hosting and currently on a temporary URL until tomorrow. Need help asap if possible.

Current Build Info:
ExpressionEngine 1.6.9 - © Copyright 2003 - 2010 - EllisLab, Inc.
Build:  20100805

Thanks

DVL, yes, the site needs to be on for this to work.

Thanks Sue for your response. I am still having some issues if someone can assist me. I still can’t see any comments and I am pretty sure I don’t understand a particular configuration where {title_permalink=ENTRY_PERMALINK_HERE} appears:

{exp:rss:feed weblog="commonground"}

I am putting this is google reader and incidentally, when I develop in Google Chrome I can’t see the rendered template display the same as in FireFox. In fact, nothing renders the same as in FireFox. So, I went back to developing in FireFox and set up Google Reader and I am still unable to see comments in the feed. We are using the BODY as the title because what they will be seeing in the feed will be the discussion question as the title of the feed and the comments as the Item.

I am also not seeing the body display in the feed itself. Please help if you can. The site is now live and the purpose of this site is interactive information. Thanks in advance.

What version and build of EE are you using? Do you’ve got a link to the feed?

I posted everything when I opened this thread. Sir the build is already posted.

Is your site “on” now? Are the entries all with a status of “open”? Neither in the past and expired, nor in the future?

We went with other support. This wasn’t what we were looking for.

I am sorry to hear that. That said, please do not hesitate to post again as needed.
